"The ocean was visible from the restaurant and pool. Great food at the restaurant. We had the Tico Roll, hamburger, Hawaiian pizza cooked in a wood fire oven and a chicken wrap. All were splendid. Excellent choices at the breakfast buffet. Lovely maintained pool with a bar that had a happy hour. The only drawback was the steep walk to our room, to the beach or to get to the main road which was a km away. It didn't bother us but if you don't like a challenge grab a can. Rides in a golf cart we're provided if needed. Beach was excellent but wear swim shoes because of the lovely lava rock. Plenty of restaurants within the km. The staff was extremely friendly. So happy with our choice."

"We love the location of the Alma Vida Hotel. Staff was very friendly. There were lots of restaurants and shopping around the hotel."

"Very relaxing….good location "

"My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It was supposed to have an ocean view but really did not have even a partial ocean view. Aside from that everything was excellent, service was great, breakfast and dinner in the restaurant were delicious, and the view from the pool was lovely. We had nice treatments from the spa as well. I enjoyed the birds on the property and especially appreciated the Scarlet macaw and rehabilitation program and reserve on the property. "

"The staff here are great - very helpful and accommodating. The view from the hotel is stunning - I highly recommend catching both a sunrise and a sunset from the rooftop area. I saw lots of wildlife on the trails through the grounds - well worth exploring those as well. My room was small, but spotlessly clean and had everything I needed. "

"Muy bueno todo y el desayuno muy bueno "

"I loved this hotel! It is an older property right on the beach with beautiful pool. Perfectly situated for parks, recreation and walking distance to restaurants. It has an on site restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. It's not fancy but it's clean, comfortable and the room a.c. works great! Everyone does get up kinda early to watch the wildlife surrounding the hotel so if you like to sleep late forget about that....for me was perfect! No need to set actual alarms!! And you will see monkeys, macaws and the occasional sloth!! Saw more animals while hanging out at the hotel than some of the parks!! Highly recommend for the low maintenence traveller!!"

"We have an ocean view from our room which it was in last floor. The room was not as incredible as the price we paid for it...the room was basically furnished and no decoration or somethings to make you cozy. Bathroom doesn't have a ventilation but a very small windows so you get a lot vapors during a shower. Not great at all. Pretty disappointed. You pay for the view. "
